World famous Venice is also known as the "City of Canals" or the "City of Bridges". It is the capital of the Veneto region in the Northeastern part of Italy and it has been built on an archipelago formed in a shallow lagoon, on a group of 126 small islands that are separated by over 180 canals and linked by 435 bridges.. In the old centre, the canals serve the function of roads, and almost every form of transport is on water or on foot.
